Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 440 Simple Daily Life

Red rock amethyst vein, this is a gold stone vein that mainly produces amethyst. Thornstone is also called hematite. This stone has a golden-red surface and is an ore containing mercury, lead, gold, and copper. The mercury smelted from this stone appears red and is called red mercury. It is an excellent alchemy material.

When red mercury is added to other materials to make spiritual materials, it has the effect of destroying evil and suppressing demons. It can be regarded as a widely used gold and stone material.

However, the amethyst stone is highly poisonous. If an ordinary person accidentally touches the amethyst stone, he will feel a pain like a needle prick. If the touch lasts for more than three breaths, it will cause poisoning and death from respiratory failure.

This mineral is very dangerous for ordinary people, but it is much better for monks. Although a monk will feel a pinprick when he touches this thing, he will not be poisoned and die immediately. He only needs to clean the contact surface with spiritual water to cure it.

Zhang Miao is now in a vein of thornstone. This vein is owned by an alchemy sect that specializes in mining thornstone. They hired many miners and purchased many mining puppets.

The one-foot-tall mining golem looks like a worm. Its head has many rotating blades that can cut hard amethyst stones. This puppet requires two people to operate, one person controls the direction, and the other person outputs the ore.

The broken ore needs to be transported out and needs to be coordinated with the mine cart. This is a mature industry and there are still many people in need.

Zhang Miao was supposed to operate the mine car, but after he showed his strength, he was appointed as a mine guard by the mine owner. This thornstone mine, like other mineral veins, will also give birth to thornstone monsters. This monster is the activated body of thornstone. Each head weighs hundreds of thousands of kilograms. It is covered with high-purity thornstone, which makes it invulnerable. , so powerful that all kinds of spells cannot be used.

This is what metal and stone monsters are like. This kind of monster has extremely high spell and physical resistance, has no intelligence, and is not afraid of death. In addition, they are extremely heavy and bring great power. Ordinary monks really can't deal with them.

As soon as this monster appears, it will attack the miners and puppets. The miners can still escape when the situation is bad, but the puppet cannot escape automatically. If the puppet is broken by a monster, not only will a mining puppet be lost, but production will also be affected. Every time it comes out, it will lose blood.

However, every gold and stone monster is a small treasure, because the monster's body is made of high-purity ore, and some monster cores are even at the level of spiritual ore. If one is hunted, its value is not small.

Therefore, every mine owner with a little bit of strength will hire a mine protection team. If nothing happens, he will entertain them with good wine and meat. If a monster appears, the mine protection team must take action to deal with the monster in time, and the monsters hunted can also get part of the profits.

It was very simple for Zhang Miao to join the mine protection team. He just lifted a stone as big as a house in the mine and threw it up and down for a while like a juggling act. With this move, the mine owner immediately made the decision to let him join. Mine protection team. Ordinary golden elixir monks don't have the strength of Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao doesn't need the price of hiring a golden elixir monk!

In normal times, Zhang Miao practices boxing by himself in the mining factory. If something happens, Zhang Miao will go and settle the matter. On the second day after he became a member of the mine protection team, a gold-thorned stone monster suddenly emerged from the mine veins.

This stone monster is three feet tall and weighs no less than ten thousand kilograms. It is covered in red gold, and flying swords and weapons hit its body like scraping. This is real Gua Sha. The mine owner hired a sword cultivator in the foundation-building stage. The sword cultivator's flying sword could really only scrape off a thick layer of mineral sand when it hit the monster.

If you really can't deal with such a monster, you can only lure it away or ask a more advanced monk to deal with it. But after being lured away, the monster becomes someone else's prey, and someone else will make a fortune after being hunted.

This monster wreaked havoc in the mineral veins, damaging two mining puppets one after another. Finally, Zhang Miao appeared. He led the monster out of the mine, and then it also became three feet tall. He wrestled directly with the monster, and finally smashed the monster into pieces with one punch, exploding the thornstone ore all over the ground.

It was this punch that knocked out his reputation, and the eyes of the people on the mine protection team changed when they looked at him. Such ruthless people may have the strength of the Golden Core Realm. And why would someone with the strength of the Golden Core Realm still stay in such a small mining factory?

In any case, Zhang Miao's strength shocked everyone, even the mine owner came to say good things...
-
"Brother Zhang, please have tea!" A middle-aged man respectfully brought a cup of tea to Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao finished her meditation, looked at the tea in front of her, and said, "It's Xiao Li, what do you want?"

The man chuckled and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Zhang, I still don't understand the monkey boxing you taught me, so I came here to ask you for advice."

Zhang Miao nodded and said, "Then show me a set of punches."

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man named 'Xiao Li' immediately started a set of monkey boxing. This person's Hou'er Fist is jerky, and the movements of his fists are stiff and stiff, without the agile and unrestrained feeling of the Hou'er Fist. But this is normal. Monkey Boxing is not a boxing technique for humans. Zhang Miao can practice it well because he has an exquisite body with nine orifices. As the saying goes, one aperture can understand all hundred apertures. This Monkey Boxing has no restrictions on him.

But when other people come to practice, this boxing method is somewhat inappropriate, and their progress will naturally be slow.

This Xiao Li is a member of the mine protection team. He is already very old. He is now over 130 years old and is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. The life span of the Foundation Establishment Period is 150 years old. If you take some life-extending drugs and use some life-extending methods, you can live to 200 years old. There are many such methods in the Xuanhuang Great Thousand World to cultivate civilization and prosper.

This man was shocked when he saw Zhang Miao's strength, so he asked Zhang Miao for advice. This kind of person is thick-skinned and can eat anywhere. Zhang Miao said that he practiced boxing. He was a monk who focused on physical training and taught monkey boxing generously.

Many people followed Zhang Miao and Zhang Miao did not hide his secrets. But the vast majority of people can only scratch the surface, and it is extremely difficult to increase their strength through Monkey Boxing. After practicing for a while, most people give up. Only this Xiao Li is still insisting.

Regarding Xiao Li's insistence, Zhang Miao did not hide his secrets. He gave generous guidance. After a while, Xiao Li felt that his boxing skills had improved slightly, so he left with a grateful face.

Many people saw this scene. In fact, most people who failed to practice boxing felt that Zhang Miao was hiding something secret, but it is difficult to say this kind of thing. After all, others teach you for free. You don’t care whether you want to learn or not. There is nothing anyone can do about hiding their secrets. Even if you want to fight with Zhang Miao, you have to consider whether you can beat Zhang Miao.

The scene where Zhang Miao cracked the stone monster with one punch was still too shocking...

In the evening, the miners who went to the mines all got off work. There is no need to mine at night. Mining at night is not efficient and the risk will increase greatly. All mines are closed at night. The miners left the mine and returned to Xuanjia City by various means. Only a few members of the mine protection team are on duty here.

It happened to be Zhang Miao's turn to be on duty today, and Xiao Li also found someone to change shifts and follow Zhang Miao on duty. The two of them were drinking tea in the room, while another team member went to practice in another room. "Brother Zhang is extremely powerful, which is really enviable. However, body training cultivators are not the mainstream. After all, this body has its limit, why would Brother Zhang still take this path?" Xiao Li poured a cup of tea for Zhang Miao, asked very strangely.

Body-refining monks are a very niche group. The monks focus on polishing the body to make the body's defense higher and stronger. The body of a skilled monk is like a magic weapon for defense, and his attack is like a magical weapon. But that's it. Today's spiritual practice pays more attention to magic power. The human body has limits, but magic power has no limit.

The body-refining monks were quite powerful in the early stages, but after reaching the golden elixir level, they were far inferior to the normal magic-refining monks.

Faced with Xiao Li's question, Zhang Miao naturally wouldn't explain too much. He just smiled and said, "Everyone likes it. I have liked physical training since I was a child, and I also have talent. Now that I have reached this point, there is no turning back."

Xiao Li nodded after hearing this. He sighed and said, "Yes, I like it. I like it. I used to like body training. I think it is the most handsome thing for a man to defeat an enemy with one punch. But... Still lost to reality.”

He glanced at Zhang Miao and continued: "Brother Zhang is so powerful that he can even defeat a three-foot-tall stone monster. You have this strength. If you save more money now and spend some money to forcibly form a pill in the future, you will have a thousand years." Time flies, but this life is not in vain.”

The biggest trouble for body-refining monks is that they don't have enough mana and it's difficult to improve their realm. In this way, the life span will be blocked by the realm. However, in the Xuanhuang Daqian Realm, this is not an unsolvable problem. As long as they have money, body refining monks can transplant spiritual roots, and then spend a lot of money to upgrade to the foundation building perfection. Finally, relying on the power of elixirs, formations and secret techniques, they can also form elixirs.

Zhang Miao burst out laughing after hearing his words, and then said: "You're right, I'm working hard to save money now." The two of them had only just met each other, so Zhang Miao naturally wouldn't explain too much, but just followed his words. .

Xiao Li also smiled after hearing this. Although he did not have the talent for body refining, he was able to form pills more easily than Zhang Miao. He is also saving money now. He is sure to reach the Golden Elixir realm and become a true Golden Elixir monk before his two hundred years of life.

The two chatted for a while, and then Xiao Li said goodbye and left. He was also going to practice. A cultivator and a cultivating soul cannot succeed without cultivating for one day.

After Xiao Li left, Zhang Miao was the only one left in the room. He also sat up cross-legged, and the ghost floated out from the top of his head, heading towards the mineral vein.

Zhang Miao's Yin God is silent, formless and qualityless. Only those who also have Yin God and are out of Yin God can see Yin God. This Yin Shen didn't attract anyone's attention. After bypassing the warning formation, he got into the mineral vein.

Zhang Miao is currently practicing the "Six Methods of Preserving the God". He accidentally discovered that practicing in the mine veins will make his Yinshen grow faster. After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Miao felt that the gold, lead, copper and mercury in the veins helped him.

In ancient times, there were alchemists who refined gold and mercury to refine the great medicine in the body to nourish their own Yins and Spirits.

Gold and mercury are poisonous, and very poisonous. This is what is called erysipelas. The ancient monks were not stupid, so why did they continue to use it even though they knew it was poisonous?
Because this is their practice. It is recorded in the "Six Methods of Preserving the Gods" that the method of stimulating the body's potential is used to practice Yin Shen. The poison of gold and mercury stimulates the body and strengthens the Yin spirit. Monks who practice the way of the Yin God do not pay attention to the body, because as long as the Yin God changes into a Yang God, the Yang God can abandon the body and survive on its own. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the body is poisoned. Just cultivate to the Yang Shen before poisoning the body.

The gold and mercury veins contain a large amount of gold and mercury, and the Yin God enters it to practice, allowing the power of gold and mercury to stimulate and strengthen the Yin God. Although this will deplete the body's energy and potential, Zhang Miao's body is not bad now. He still has the Great Pill of Yama in his body, which can fully withstand such torture.

Over the past few days, Yin Shen's practice has been progressing very quickly. His Yin God has become slightly red, and he is gradually transforming into a Yang God.

After practicing all night, Zhang Miao Yin Shen came out of the mine near dawn. Where he was in a daze, the power of gold and mercury disappeared, and the ores became dull and of extremely poor quality. Zhang Miao is using this mineral vein to help him practice Yin Shen!
The ore vein is very large, and even if Zhang Miao takes 10/20 of it, the mine owner will not suffer a loss.

His Yin God came out of the mine, and then took over the morning sunshine. When it was almost done, the Yin God returned to his throne, and Rihua was brought back and was refined into Qi by Zhang Miao.

When everything is done, the miners go to work, and a new day begins again.

Just like this, after ten days, the mining factory will have a day off every ten days. Except for those on duty, everyone does not have to work today, and wages will be paid. Even in the world of spiritual practice, if you should take a holiday, you still have to take a holiday. The cows and horses are panting!
It was a holiday today, so Zhang Miao didn't have to be on duty, so he came to Xuanjia City and had a 'date' with Xing Xiaorong, who was also on holiday. After the two met, Xing Xiaorong kept chattering. She was either talking about some embarrassing things about her colleagues, or she was talking about the difficulties of learning a craft.

After all, she is not Zhang Miao, and she does not have the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart. In addition, her foundation is very poor and she is a slow learner. However, she has her own resilience and is a girl who is willing to endure hardships. Although she complains that she is tired and hard every time we meet, she will continue to work hard when she goes back the next day.

Zhang Miao cooperated with her every time, listening when she needed to and scolding when she needed to. This is the life of the two of them, just like everyone else in this Xuanjia City, living a simple and unpretentious life.

On the day off, the two of them got tired of each other, and at night, they dispersed. Zhang Miao returned to the mining factory and continued to practice. The same is true for Xing Xiaorong. She will continue to practice and learn.

This kind of life passed for several months.

Until today, while Zhang Miao was practicing, he suddenly noticed something strange happening deep in the mine vein. When his Yin Shen was practicing, he discovered that something seemed to be gestating deep in the mine veins.

Relying on his Yin Shen, Zhang Miao headed towards the depths of the mine. When he was close to the depths of the mine, he suddenly felt pain like needles all over his body. He was startled and hurriedly left the place.

Something that can hurt Yinshen is unusual!
